I did some brief searching online and found nothing matching. At the company I work for, more and more folks are moving to Dropbox, Google drive and so on to store their departmental content (moving away from local DFS namespaces we have setup).
There are benefits to this as, the content is available worldwide and there are installs for Windows and MAC OS's to make it convenient for users to access.
Of course, this means they've moved away from using the local DFS namespaces we have setup. The data is not protected and who knows what assurances we have for privacy and backups from Dropbox, etc.
Microsoft seems to be in a very unique position here. It would be AMAZING if we could use Skydrive to LINK to an existing DFS namespace. Taking security into account, ideally, it would appear as a subdirectory in the user's Skydrive. The folder would only
work if we were VPN connected ideally (so would link to a private IP address).
Does anyone know if linking Skydrive to an enterprise DFS namespace is possible currently and what would be involved?
Thanks!
